back of a public malted milk wrapper
and then we get to a lot of that
care of the patient who would you are now listening

just remember to send in soon
and we have only a limited number of these pictures available
and now let's see what's happening down in pine ridge
woman at mary perfectly having their troubles over the chain letters they
started in by the rich
just as the hogs and corn were pouring in from all sections of the country
they learned that it is unlawful to start the letters
as it comes under the head of using the mail to the bar
well now they'll follow the trying their best to give the hogs back
to those who have been done
so we look in on our own friends today
lombard on to the county p
the about shipping the hog back
but we find grandpappy spears and that there are not at the job down store
or have been back on the road here that right early this morning
well i'll go off a call man
but where it came all day to do anything
and the contract part of a job or shipping all involved back to where they
come from
well you've got to do it here and i'm around the ship on the river panel
they're already in the craze you don't even have to take them off the depot platform
well i still thank you for your use of the poor judgment admiral
paying out all that money express charges shipping them back
well we ain't doing it cause we want to
we're just trying to keep ourselves out of trouble that's what we're doing
me and lombard went over to jake wheelers last evening and argued with him for two hours
before we could get him to take that hog back if he brought us
and i've got twenty-some auto read my place over i ain't worrying about getting
in no trouble over my no i reckon not
but me and i was a wonder started that hog chain letter that's where they got us
well there comes dick huddleston
and he's the one that told us about it being a general to start them chain letters
yeah i know he said all along this fellow is better than them things alone
no he wouldn't have nothing to do with them
lombard tried to send him a chain letter and he wouldn't have it
and i'm sorry a minute that i think that my mind
i'll swap one hog for twenty five any day in a week
yeah it's a good deal except for that fellow that sparked the letters
they're the ones that catch it
well howdy then come in richard
oh first grade i reckon
uh... abner lyche jenkins was just down the floor and he had a bushel of corn for you and lomb
said he tried to take it over to your place and cedric was sitting down there at the end of the lane
with a shotgun wouldn't let him come on the play
well good for cedric he was tending to his job then
well i said if he got one of those chain letters and if your name was on the top of the list
he was supposed to bring you a bushel of corn
yeah i know
we ain't letting them bring no more of that corn over there
there's two or three hundred bushel over there now that folks are wronged
just laugh before we know what they were doing
why you and lomb started those chain letters abner to get feed for your hogs
i suppose you'd want all the corn you could get
that's just what i told him jayton he wasn't listening to me
the very idea of him running the man off with a shotgun because he's trying to give you a bushel of corn
well now we're trying to get out of this chain letter baby
we're having enough trouble trying to get the damn hogs back to everybody at santa's long time
having to go through the same thing on the corn
are you giving the hogs back abner?
well we're trying to we can find out who all brought them to us we are
the hogs in at the county seat now going to all the expensive shipping ever hog to come in there
back to whoever sent them
well for goodness sake what in the world are you doing that for abner?
well we're trying to keep ourselves out of the penitentiary
you said the other day over here that the government could loss for starting them chain letters
we just figured that's the best way for us to keep out of trouble is to send them all back
well that's not going to help in sending the stuff back
you violated the law when you sent the letter out not when you got the hogs in the corn
see there abner see there what'd I tell you
you mean it ain't getting the law to keep the hogs on
well no that's not going to help any giving them back
you've gone this far with it you might as well go through with it now
them's the very words I told them to
well I wish to goodness we'd have known that before the law went into the county seat
taking my everything we had for freighting them hogs back
they come from all over the United States
I said they won't have to clean out there in California
yeah I hear what I'm telling about that
cost us seventeen dollars to ship them back it's about three times what he worth
well I'm sorry if I called you fellas to do this but what I said the other day
but I was just warning you not to start any more of them
so sooner or later somebody's going to get in trouble over it
I'll be dead blank and it's a good thing I never turn them all loose
mom told me before he left this morning just open the gate and turn them all loose
and we know where they all come from and we thought maybe that they'd go home by
themselves if we just turn them loose that way
sassy frats sassy frats
hogs going all the way home and it's a good thing I never done it anyway
I just happen to think after mom left we might have got ourselves in some more
trouble over there why sure we got a stockpile here in
Pine Ridge and I'd have had to e-rest both of us if I'd turned them out
yeah that's right well I know Abner if I was you I'd keep every hog and every bushel of
corn that you get chances are that nothing will be done or
said about those chain letters that you started in the first place
and I don't believe uh oh if I was you I'd start any more of them because
sooner or later why somebody's going to get into it
and don't you worry about that I just hope I never see another one I'm
that's what I hope well I guess I better get on back I just
want to find out why Cedric was over there guarding your place with a
shotgun I think I'm glad you come over and explain
it to me yeah I am too Richard I know days are making
a mistake trying to give all them hogs back
by the way grandad I nearly forgot here I've got a letter here for you that
Thomas wanted oh yeah thought I'd bring it over I knew that you
might not get down to post office today well thank you Richard that's all right
well you're supposed to come down low with me
yeah we will Richard and so on yeah that looks like Cecil's handwriting
oh my boy Cecil oh oh yeah yeah that's who it is yeah that's that's
so right there in the corner yeah after five days returned to Cecil
Spears star route 80 Oklahoma yeah yeah I do know
his ma will be proud to hear from him first hearing we've had from him since
long before Christmas Charity's been worried to death
on that's what I'm after is he still sharing cop in that place of his father-in-law
yeah I reckon so I expect I better open it up and see what all he's got to say
yeah telephone charity and tell her the news yeah go ahead and read it I'd love
to hear what he's got to say I always like Cecil all I said he'd
make a substance of himself fine boy and I do know he drove with the
typewriter that's something I knew he's took up
well starts out dear friend and that's the funny thing to call it
Paul yeah this charm was started in the hopes of
bringing prosperity to you within three days make five copies of
this letter leaving off the top name and address and
what in the world is that boy talking about here
I know his grandpapa I believe he sent you one of them chambered or so the
one that's what it is it's yours where goes on here to say in old
bit and their top name and address be sure to send that person 10 cents
rock and paper as a charity note ain't well I saw too good damn things
is just taking their country ain't they man that ain't very nosy
yeah I don't know now better than tell a rice mark for that
I know he ain't sick or he couldn't rip the letter and he must be getting along
all right or he wouldn't have had a dime to send off
well I hadn't looked at it that way but I reckon there's reason all right
grandpapa yeah I reckon there's lots of folks who's
got letters from their folks and friends that they hadn't heard from
I'm coming up out there in front now yeah yeah I thought he's about due back
well them creeks might have been up these rains we've been having a full of
creeks something wonderful here well um you got back I see and did you
have any trouble long trouble as many as I ain't had nothing else
but trouble well we're into it now sure enough
had what's the matter well I went in there this morning to ship them 36
hoax a man said it was in there and he called yes Jim
by the time I got there there's 80 some odd for the land
and still coming I had to figure out how much it cost us to send them there
there back to where they come from and it'll run to nearly six hundred dollars
six hundred dollars we can't send them back but tomorrow they'd be twice as
many as they are today I know we can't keep that up
oh no and now the corn has started coming in there now
well I just sat down now and quit worrying about it now
I've got some good news for you good news well let's have it let's hear it
well Dick Hodgson is over here and he said that it wouldn't do no good to
shift them hogs back nowhere no he said it ain't again a lot of
get the hogs the only thing they can get you fellas for is starting them chain
letters he don't think nothing will be dead
about that uh Dick said that that's just what he
said a while ago oh my goodness and we turned all them hogs loose this morning
no no I never turn them loose long ask the
more good news we've still got them I just happen to
think this morning to get a lot of time stock loose that way so I never done it
well good for you ever and Dick says he don't think we're getting no trouble
with him he said he don't think we'll say they keep having a hog and never
bustle a corn again all right grannies I know that was a good
idea that chain letter business a minute to call it up
let me get to that telephone now what are you fixing to do I'm going to call up
everybody we talked to and you're talking him taking him hogs back and make them
bring them back over here to us they already had more attention to take
them back in the first place
